Geocache Description:

NOTE: THIS CACHE IS NOT LOCATED AT THE POSTED COORDINATES


To obtain the coordinates to The Hobbit Shire Cache, you must visit the 4 different Hobbit caches of The Shire. In each Hobbit cache you will find portions of the coordinates to The Hobbit Shire Cache. The 4 Hobbit caches are listed below.

J. R. R. Tolkien's, The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, produced by New Line Cinema and released in three installments as The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002), and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003).

The Lord of the Rings trilogy starts from the quiet beginnings in the Shire, then ranges across Middle-earth. The story centers on the Ring of Power made by the Dark Lord Sauron, and follows the courses of the War of the Ring. The Lord of the Rings has created many characters such as Hobbits, Elves, Dwarves, Wizards, Orcs and Ents.

The Shire is described by Tolkien as a small but beautiful and fruitful land, beloved by its inhabitants, the Hobbits. The Shire has rich pastoral farmland, vineyards, and woodland forest. Much of the land was devoted to growing crops. Several smaller rivers flow into the the marshlands along the main river.

The Hobbit's height is between two and four feet tall, with curly hair. They have pointed ears, oversized feet so they never wear shoes. The Hobbits live in underground (earth bermed) homes.

Note: There are no trails in this park. To search for the Hobbit caches you will be hiking through woodlands and marshlands, and crossing small streams.
